Answer 1

try this one:

gem install libv8 -v '3.16.14.3' -- --with-system-v8

Note : Because libv8 is the interface for the V8 engine used by therubyracer, you may need to use libv8, even if you have V8 installed already. If you wish to use your own V8 installation, rather than have it built for you, use the --with-system-v8 option.

For more you can go through the documentation of libv8 on github
